what about using Apache Portable Runtime (APR) or Netscape Portable 
Runtime (NSPR)? Both implement poll() for Windows, Linux and Unix and 
are known to be very portable and rather bug free.

I pulled the most code from the version system. But this code won't 
compile due to sytax errors caused by bad function headers and missing 
variables.

If it's ok for you I would try get the library use APR. This would fix 
the problem with the poll emulation.
